Has Google news searches been hacked?
When doing a Google news search sorted by date, there is not even one news story newer than three hours ago. Not one.

I finally did a test and searched news stories for the word "the" and again, no stories newer than three hours old. A Yahoo news search is just fine, but Google is wonky.

Anyone else getting this result?

1. My gmail was down for a while this afternoon
When I was able to sign back on, there were 15 messages, all from GMail, with strange names "thanking" me for sending them gmail accounts.

Very strange.

5. Just Dan Senor Doing His Job
I liked Google for a while. After all, the contribute money to one of my favorite environmental charities whenever I do a search there so long as I input my parameters from

However, when they hired Dan Senor as their VP Of Communications, I just about lost my lunch. I still want to help save the Amazon rainforest so I continue to search with them but hold my nose whenever I do.
